Hi, it's Kazuki!
Today, I finally got my first leather jacket in my life! It is Thursday Boot Co.'s Anejo leather jacket.
I always wanted a leather jacket. After doing some research, I was going to buy the Schott NYC's racer jacket because it is appearently the best made-in-USA leather jacket. However, it was a bit too expensive for mo wallet.
I came across Thursday Boot Co. when I was looking for leather boots, and found out that they also make leather jackets, and that they are much cheaper and still good quality.
I hope you enjoy the video!
God bless America🇺🇸

///Update/// In the video, I kind of complained about not getting a wooden hanger unlike some people on KZbin unboxing their jacket. I sent an email to Thursday Boot Co. about it, and they said "please note that we do not ship our jackets with hangers, but some customers might have received their jackets directly from our showroom and someone accidentally packed it with our personal hangers. One reason why we do not include hangers is it might get something damaged while en route." So, do not expect to see a hanger. If you do get a jacket with a hanger, that means you just got lucky or unlucky.

The Thursday Racer is a good looking jacket. But to be honest the size you choosed is way to big for you! Arm length = too long Torso length = too long Chest = too wide Shoulders = too wide

I have the black matte and it's awesome, I get compliments all the time, but this color is definitely next on my list...congrats on your first one, man

Thanks for the comment! Glad your has been treating u well! Unfortunately, I found some serious quality issues on this jacket not long after, which I also made a video about. I returned the jacket and ended up buying one from Schott NYC. It's much more expensive, I'm very happy with it. I am personally staying away from Thursday's products because the quality of the jacket I got, the way it was packaged, and the bunch of misspells on the "quality assurance" card, etc. were all sketchy for me. Again, I'm glad you had a good experience with them, tho! I wish mine was good too :(

@@loneruggedkazuki I'm sorry to hear that! Sounds like you had bad luck on that one. I might reconsider depending on their return policy.

Thanks! Same for me too, I found Thursday Boot Co. because I was looking for boots. I ended up buying Red Wing instead but decided to buy their jacket!

When you buy stuff online in Europe or USA using japanese name, you often get some sort of dissatisfaction. This is true, I had a lot of such experiences. 日本人です。

@loneruggedkazuki 9 ай бұрын

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that! I have been living in the US for 8 yrs and buying things online quite often and never felt that way. I updated on the comment section about Thursday Boot Co.'s customer service after I inquired them about the package. I'm pretty happy overall.

Thanks! I'm too big to fit slim size S for sure, but this athletic size S feels a little too big (I feel there are some excess space around shoulders). I could get a little big bigger and it would be perfect.

I visited a leather store in Canada, and sadly, they don't have any simplistic model like this. However, from the standard I've seen, this jacket is worth 250 not 340 (440cad)

@loneruggedkazuki 7 ай бұрын

Yeah i loved the simplicity and the construction of the jacket. They had issues with leather tho

Hi Kazuki, if you dont mind sharing what's your height and weight and chest length? I'm looking to order one myself actually I'm 5'9, ard 185 lbs, 39 1/2 Chest width. Thursday Boots has told me to order small but the measurements don't quite add up. Also does the jacket sleeves run long for you? It seems common across all their jackets. Thanks!

@loneruggedkazuki 9 ай бұрын

Oh ages passed when I last maeasured my body, and it was when I was in Japan (we use centimeter, kilogram, etc). I started working out after moving to the US, so my weight and chest size got bigger but the hight should not sadly :( I'm pretty short guy but I believe I'm no taller that 5.5, no heavier than 132 lbs. I am not sure about my chest size since I have never maeasured it. I have some pecs built up but I'm not that big. And I asked Thursday and they said that the Anejo color, which I got only has athletic style, and mine is athletic stlye size S. It's not too big but it's not tight at all (like I would not fit in slim size S with other racer jacket). I'm planning to get bigger but it's pretty good size so far but I feel I could get bigger a bit. I hope this helps!

@Met377 9 ай бұрын

@@loneruggedkazuki Wow! thank you so much for the detailed response Kazuki, that is definitely helpful. I live in Hong Kong and the weather here makes it hard to for layering so I guess I'll stick to athletic fit in M. Envy you guys in Japan with the diverse weather and beautiful sceneries. Anyways hope you have a great weekend, Appreciate your help! -Kevin

What S size was this? Slim or Athletic fit?

@loneruggedkazuki 2 ай бұрын

They only have just "Size S", no slim or athletic. But, I believe this is the equivalent to athletic fit of other jacket they have!

Hi, nice review! What's your height? It looks a little bit big on you, but generally a good choice.

@loneruggedkazuki 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for the comment! I'm about 5.4 ft, and the jacket was the smallest, and yes it was still a bit too big. I noticed serious quality issues on this jacket not long after and made a video about it too. Go ahead and check it out if interested. I personally won't recommend their jackets.

@@loneruggedkazuki Thanks for the response! I'm about the same height, so I guess I won't even look toward this direction. Wish they had XS size...Regarding the quality, I hope it was just a one time defect. I have one of their boots(Major), and it feels and looks very good.

@loneruggedkazuki 4 ай бұрын

@@kiril1 Yeah I hope so too. It was very weird experience, just how it has so many issues (not just the jacket but also the quality assurance card had a bunch of misspells and it made it even sketchy). I personally stay away from Thursday's products, but might give their boots a try in the future. I know they make some boots with Horween Chromexcel leather (it's my favorite leather made in Chicago), and I trust Horween's quality. Sizing is the key for sure! I bought a XS jacket from Schott NYC and still had to tailor it. It's a great jacket.

Hello Kazuki, Hope you are doing well. If you do not mind, can I ask you about your height, weight and chest size. I am asking this because, I want to know which size of Thursday Jacket will fit me good. I am 5 Feet and 5 inches, around 68kgs, and 38 inches chest. Thank you.

@loneruggedkazuki 5 ай бұрын

Hello! My height is about 5.4 ft, and weight should be somewhere between 55 - 60 kg. I have never measured my chest, but I work out and have pecs bulging lol I personally don't recommend Thursday's jacket (I had a bad experience with it. Please check out my video about it). But I hope this helps you and whatever jacket you end up buying works for you too!
